Evenflo is recalling nearly 60,000 child car seats over a defect that could put children at risk in a crash. The recall covers the company's Reo by Revolve360 seats, which regulators say do not comply with federal safety standards for child restraint systems.
At the heart of the recall is the seat's headrest. According to safety regulators, the headrest can shift out of position during a crash in certain rear-facing or forward-facing configurations, movement that could compromise how the seat protects a child and potentially lead to a serious injury.
In total, the recall involves 59,661 seats sold in the United States and Canada. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined that the affected seats fall short of the federal standards meant to ensure child restraints perform as intended in a collision.
The affected seats were manufactured between March 2025 and June 2026. The recall covers the Reo by Revolve360 line in a range of color variants, specifically the Nantucket, Danvers, Chelsea, Holden, Brookline and Lenox versions, and parents are urged to check whether their seat is among them.
Evenflo says it is developing a repair kit for the recalled seats. The kit is expected to reinforce the headrest and prevent it from shifting, addressing the specific problem that led regulators to flag the product in the first place.
Owners of the affected seats can expect to hear from the company directly. Interim owner notification letters are expected to be mailed between August 17 and September 15, alerting families whose seats are covered by the recall and explaining the next steps.
There is also a path to reimbursement for some families. Consumers who paid out of pocket to repair the headrest issue since January 2025 may be eligible to be paid back, and Evenflo can be reached at 1-800-233-5921 for more information about the recall.
